Got to school and talked to a girl named Alex all the way to class about how she went to Granada and it was totally spur of the moment and how she met an awesome old spanish guy that ended up bein their little tour guide for their two day stay=) It was fun to get to just talk to her about how a spur of the moment trip went... hahaha was nuts but said she would totally do it again! I love her spontaneity and will prolly end up doin at least one trip like that=) Nothin exciting happened in class today, my first hour is at 130 today and it is a Culture and Econ class in English which talks about spanish culture and econ=) Haha this class is nuts we were talkin about sex and how under Franco the dictator sexuality in public was totally restricted and how TV was way strict on sex and any skin showing of any type. THEN once Franco died in 1975 the sex business went nuts in Spain and the economy totally shifted toward posting sex on everything, having nudity on public tv, adds in the street being almost total nude photos, and nude beaches and just how it all changed. Wow then the SHOCKER CAME.. the teacher had a power point goin and he totally had like 3 photos of like typical magazines, Tv shows, and adds, and the like and they were all of bare breasted women!!!!! HE SHOWED THAT IN CLASS!!!! A little nuts if ya ask me... but he totally was like o yeah this video was very good and it was totally a porno! So just a lil different from the states! But then i went to History of Spanish Art where i have my fave teacher Debra Cole! Totally an awesome teacher! But met up with my two Canadian buddies (Cale the red head and Jeff a blond haired dude) Cale and Jeff hang out everywhere they go... you will never see either of them apart from eachother EVER. They are pretty chill about everything and i met them in my last spanish class but i dropped it because it was too hard... haha but they are rad! Cale is a mad snowboarder and Jeff is a boarder and they both wake surf and are settin up a trip with me to go surfin here in a week or so! It will be sweet... hahaha they are a laugh to be around for sure... two of the most rad people i have met here!
DINNER WITH INMA MY INTERCAMBIO
So i told Inma she i would love to meet her family since we are goin to be intercambio buddies all year. Hahaha i basically told her that i wanted to come over for dinner! Wow totally did not know that askin to come over for dinner in Spain is like askin to be apart of the family!!!!! Hahahaha i was talkin with Qui Que the guy who helped me out so much when i was sick and i told him what i had done with the dinner deal and he said, "Did you buy her flowers or get her a gift yet!?!?!" I kinda thought he was joking... but he WASN'T!!! He went onto tell me that only family and really really REALLY close friends get invited over for dinner and you never mention you are just goin to come over! So i was all stressin and knew i had most def crossed my first spanish culture line... and Inma was waiting just outside my door. So i go outside give her the greeting kisses and then give her an american hug and start by askin how she is doin and stuff and then i was like hey im so sorry about just askin myself over for dinner tonight i had no idea it is not something that you guys do over here!=S She goes "O no its fine, when you said you wanted to come for dinner i thought it was something that ISA had told you to do since we are intercambios, hahaha i told my friends you were coming over tonight and all of them where like YOU ARE WHAT!?!?!? So it is not a big deal but we just don't have PEOPLE OVER=) She was way nice about it and we laughed pretty hard because we both were on the wrong page. But she took me all around the city and showed me some beautiful places!!! We then went to my house and got jerky, badger claws, a piece of wood i branded and all my family pictures=) Then it was around 830 so we headed back to her house for dinner=) We got to her house and it is so beautiful!!!! It has 4 floors and all the tile is white marble! Floor story stair case all WHITE MARBLE!!! But then i showed then jerky and met the one and only older brother Paco and the mom Paloma which means "Dove" she is such a nice lady!!!! Then she asks what i would like and I say "I like everything" so she asks if SWORD FISH is ok... hahaha are you nuts OF COURSE SWORD FISH IS OK!!!!! I have never had sword fish and i know it aint cheap... so i was way stoked!=) hahaha then Inma showed me around her 4 story house and her room and how she loves Crow the movie and how she loves to juggle and act and do funny stuff=) It was so cool to see that all the childhood movies she had were the exact same as mine=) Haha all of them the SAME=) But then it was time for dinner! I sat down and she gave me a huge piece of sword fish that had a garlic pepper and lemon sauce on it... and then asparagus and zukini with cheese! Wow it was too good to put to words! I loved it... the sword first was way to good to be true! While i was eating the dad, who also has the name Paco, walked in and I looked at Inma and whispered "his name is Paco right" and she nodded so i went up and was like "Me llamo Paco" and then totally realized i just said his name instead of mine and everyone all started laughin and it was the funniest thing ever... kinda had to be there but then after that happened the mom was still laughing and was like "You can come here whenever you want, you are adopted into this family" WOW YOU HAVE GOT TO BE KIDDING!!! this is a HUGE deal to tell someone that so i felt way honored and she said next time i come over she will fix something better! Haha i don't know how it could have been any better i mean the meal was topped off with lemon cream pie with real lemon peels chopped up in it and it was way too good... seriously i am lovin this family!!! Then after dinner i gave the mom two kisses and then i told Inma we should finish the tour... so she took me to the forth floor patio and it was totally lookin prime for some dancin so i was like let me show ya some moves so that we can totally rock the club next time we go! She was like ok... so we spent the next like hour goin over moves and the like and it was GREAT! totally made me miss Kass and Miles and my bro, ruth, katie, brittney, jess, just everyone dancin at home=)!!! Man i gotta bring her home and show her whats really up with a real barn dance! But anyway i was on my last dig and was doin what i call the HOOK and my pants totally crotch ripped so i had to stop and we went back down stairs and the mom started laughin and i put some of Paco's jeans on and the mom said she would fix them=) Then i said goodbye and kissed the mother, gave Paco a hug and Paco two a handshake and then gave Inma two kisses, one on each cheek and then gave her an American hug and the mom said to come back very soon so i left and waved goodbye and walked home. Then when i got home i got a text from Inma that said thanks for the most fun night that she has had in YEARS=) That made me way happy... hahaha all i did was dance with her an meet her family so i hope i can top that night soon with her if that is the best night she has had in YEARS=)
So...... in conclusion my terrible culture trip up turned into bein the biggest blessing i ever could have asked for.... see God does have a sense of humor... and he still uses idiotic mistakes for awesome reasons!=) Kinda pretty much want to make a ton more! Totally in awe of how awesome my last few hours were and got to soak it in on the 15 minute walk home past the Cathedral and it was great. What an awesome God i serve... Thank you for my feast and my joy and my sense of awesome purpose in bein here! To God be the glory and all my love=)
